Original publication and holotype designation: Krivina, E.S., Bobrovnikova, L.A., Temraleeva, A.D., Markelova, A.G., Gabrielyan, D.A. & Sinetova, M.A. (2023). Description of Neochlorella semenenkoi gen. et sp. nov. (Chlorophyta, Trrebouxiophyceae), a novel Chlorella-like alga with high biotechnological potential. Diversity 15(513): [1-22].
Taxonomic status: currently recognized as a distinct genus.
Gender: This genus name is currently treated as feminine.
Most recent taxonomic treatment adopted: Krivina, E.S., Bobrovnikova, L.A., Temraleeva, A.D., Markelova, A.G., Gabrielyan, D.A. & Sinetova, M.A. (2023). Description of Neochlorella semenenkoi gen. et sp. nov. (Chlorophyta, Trrebouxiophyceae), a novel Chlorella-like alga with high biotechnological potential. Diversity 15(513): [1-22].
Description: Cells are solitary, planktonic, spherical or ellipsoidal shape, without bristles. Mucilage is absent. Chloroplast is single, parietal, and cup-shaped, with a spherical pyrenoid covered by two starch grains. Asexual reproduction occurs by equal autospores. Zoospores and sexual reproduction were not observed. Autospores are released through disruption of the parent cell wall. The genus differs from other genera of the family by the SSU and ITS rRNA gene sequences.

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera,
organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA)
and intended to be published in CD format.
These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above.
The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.
Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
